Da Calles on da wall:
This nice character was made for my birthday from my man Play aka Lash:
a nice detail from LJDAs Juxa for me:
The Majo Brothers brought the "1000 faces"-Cover on a wall at the Kiefernstrasse. It was fun and relaxing on one of the few nice spring days '07 had with nothing but sun and blue sky. But take a look for yourself:
Visit the Majos at their myspace profile (you find it in my top-friends) or directly go to Majoland at MAJOBROTHERS.DE.
Me & my Peepz:
Shows, Covers & Artwork:
Local press was attending the Oberbilk Video-premiere in January '08 @ HoodCompany spraycan store, so your Mad Scientist got a quite nice portrait article in the local newspaper Rheinische Post in the aftermath.
If anybody wants to know why I get way too less sleep on the regular and don't have all the time I would need doing my music and & biz (besides my young & hungry disciples who always beggin' for free studio time), this is what I spend most of my time on:
So who is da mad scientist, for real ???
Original resident of the Oberbilk borough of Kraftwerk City aka Düsseldorf, Germany, Killa Calles is beat producer, MC, host of his monthly radio show "Da real HipHop"(since ..98!) at the local public radio station, concert promoter for his "Back to the Future Flavour" series supporting mainly local bands, you name it !
Together with his homie Simmel from the group Nimzwai he is running his own studio called D-Square - as a reminicence to the influential sound of NYC's D&D (R.I.P.!) and of course for the double D in their hometown also known as "Düsseldope". For some pictures look to the right @ "sounds like".
Killa Calles is also a founding member of the group Icklack Squad, a loose collective of different rap-crews from Düsseldorf and surrounding cities, who originally found together during a weekly rhyme cypher in a local youth center called "Youth center at the Icklack" due to the streets name meaning something like" old oak pool" in old german.
Together they produced two tapes (2001 & 2003) and a CD (2005).
Besides his beats and rhymes on the Icklack releases, Killa Calles himself had his first tape out in 2000 and some of his tracks or freestyles on several samplers and compilations like "Wortgewand" "Rhein Ruhr Pakt" or the "Beatz aus der Bude" series from colognes DJ Lifeforce.
In 2002 he independently put out his 12" with the Düsseldorf anthem "Düsseldorfs Finest" featuring Jesen & Simmel from Nimzwai. A low budget video to this song made it to national music television it was played in the "mixery raw deluxe show" on viva tv and later on it was in the dial-in rotation of "get the clip" on viva plus getting some weekly airplay.
Then in 2007 Calles finally dropped his "1000 faces of..." Album:
Order the Killa Calles Album here:
Of course @ your local hiphop record dealer, although they are getting lesser & lesser:
And another very nice review of the Album can be found in the april issue of the Backspin magazine. Furthermore in the new may issue, they feature an article about me:
Show the Backspin magazine some love back & get yourself a copy !!!
I got even more love from the Düsseldorfer Hochschulradio (college radio) for putting the "Oberbilk" song in the XXL rotation and spinning it 3 times a day, 21 times a week :).
Big Up to all the other radio stations supporting my music like: HIPHOPCULTURE.DE

IMPORTANT NOTE:
The federal german state of North-Rhine Westphalia succed in its crackdown on public peoples radio!!!
The ruling conservative-liberal coalition has now to establish a law limiting the commitment of private radio stations to broadcast public people radio shows from up to 3 hours in the evening now to only one hour a day from 21 to 22 pm.
This means that a lot of shows lost their place!
I will continue to broadcast with my "Da Real HipHop" show, keeping up the struggle we now are back to a monthly turnus, these suckers won't break us down!
And now you can HOLLA @ ya BOY via this nice VOICEBOX !!! just call the number they show you + temporary code, and yeah it's for free...
Und nomma auf Deutsch: Labert mir wat auf die voicebox, das kostet echt nix! Also los, worauf wartet Ihr? Einfach die angegebene Nummer wählen plus den temporären Code und ab der Fisch.
